Searching for information on homeschooling can be tricky. It's hard to find a study that's truly unbiased.

While “proving that homeschooling is a good thing” isn't listed on their mission statement, The National Home Education Research Institute, for example, is run by Dr Brian Ray, a homeschooling father who speaks publicly about the benefits of homeschooling. One could argue that his research has led him to believe that this is true, or that his belief that this is true has led him to research the matter.

Likewise, the U.S. Department of Education may also be biased in its methodology for researching homeschooling statistics. Factors like the prevalence in some states of virtual schools, charter schools and alternative education programs that are administered at home may skew results.
